    Granted its a pavona, one of the most forgiving due to the deep polyps but look at that polyp extension! Yeeeeeee

    The picture doesn't give much justice but it has a couple small tentacles swinging quite far from the skeleton

    There's nothing like watching stuff come to life! I enjoyed it for years landscaping, now I get to enjoy it in my home.

    So I was looking at my tank last night when my blue LEDs were on and my blue stylophora looked awesomely fuzzy so stoked!!!!!!

    Especially if you consider I got them in poor condition to begin with. They are making a come back though.

    Also here is another pic of my pavona

    Love the pavonas. You know it's doing good when you can see the PE swayin in the current. We had one in old tank & it was sweet. I can't believe how far the polyps come out. Here's a few pics. I look forward to havin one in my new tank. Congrats on it being happy. Lookin good.

    I'd be careful what is place around this coral. I've had mine beat up on my Duncan's and currently battling with my pink plate monti.

    So far it has a large rock of its own to grow on, but thx it's good to know seeing a its a survivalist I'm assuming it would win a battle vs most acropora
